A couple of SF series off the top of my head: Remembrance of Earth's Past (Three Body Problem, etc.) by Liu Cixin and the Mars Trilogy (Red Mars, etc.) by Kim Stanley Robinson. I really enjoyed both of those.

The "Waterloo" referred to in the docs, for those who may not know, is the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada. The Pascal and FORTRAN, as well as the APL, are probably the Waterloo versions. I remember learning FORTRAN using WATFOR-77.

A key part of this story is that you can't simply go without boots for a few years while you save up the money for a good pair. The need for an immediate solution locks you in to the inferior solution.
